Very nice Andy. I do not know if you heard about this but at the last regular season game at Yost, the pep band played the Swedish national anthem. Then, at the last regular season game at Northern, their band played it also.

I can verify that the students did, in fact all sign the flag and gave it to him on senior night during the ceremonies after the game. This was the game that he scored the tying goal with about 40seconds left and the winning goal in OT with just 2.9 seconds left. As it ended up, those three points were pretty important to them winning the CCHA. Several students had Swedish flags that they held up for every goal he scored during his four years. The one they gave him however was the large version that the "hockey nerds" always held up and it was pretty cool to see.
